About Us!

Hi! I'm Tawra and I just wanted to thank you for stopping by Homemade Soap Making Supplies!

My love for soap started when I visited Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri in 1990. I saw a lady making "old fashioned soap", using what I now know is the hot process method, in a huge kettle outside stirring for 3 hours!

I thought that was the coolest thing ever, but I didn't think any more about it until in 1992 I started working at a flower shop in Estes Park, Colorado and one of my jobs was hand stirring their handcrafted soap... for more than an hour for each batch! (This was before immersion blenders!)

I still loved making the soap! After that job, I wanted to make soap at home on my own but kids came along and then our state outlawed purchasing lye over the counter, so I decided to wait.

In 2014, I found some soap making videos on Youtube and fell in love all over again!

We lived in a different state by then so I decided to see if I might be able to buy lye (known as 100% lye drain cleaner) in my local hardware store and, sure enough, they had it!!! I was SOOO excited!

My first soap loaf quickly turned into hundreds of bars of soap as I just couldn't quit making it!
